Several people were stunned on the spot, totally unable to believe that such a thing had actually happened.

The next second, four people jumped up from the sofa in the lounge and rushed to Dolly's dormitory.

At the same time, many girls in the dormitory had run out to see what was going on. Dolly realized that this was not going to work, so she quickly grabbed Qiu Zhang and winked at her.

Qiu Zhang immediately understood and turned to stop the girls who were about to rush over. He said, "There was a small magical incident. We will deal with it quickly. Please don't come over and cause trouble."

In terms of identity and status, Qiu Zhang is now second only to the prefect in the entire Hogwarts.

She spoke, and since no one else saw any fire or anything like that, they listened to Qiu Zhang's words and stopped and turned back.

After making sure that there were no more people, Qiu Zhang came to Dolly's dormitory.

And when she entered, Dumbledore was already cleaning up the mess.

"So what exactly happened here?"

Qiu Zhang asked quietly, originally asking Dolly, but Dumbledore had already heard and answered.

"Oh, my bad, my bad."

Dumbledore was over a hundred years old, and it was rare for him to have an awkward expression on his face.

"I know Miss Dursley has some little inventions in the dorms, and I'm curious, but at least I know not to touch anything else."

"So after observing for a while, I was planning to use magic to search for some dark magic items... but I didn't expect it to react with some magic in the dormitory."

"Then it was...what you see now."

Hermione coughed, gave Dumbledore a way out, and said, "Professor, we also have responsibilities."

"In order to make everything work properly, we actually cast a lot of magic in the dormitory. For example, in order to make the generator silent and keep it working stably, we used not only silencing spells and fixing spells, but also other spells."

"We should have told you in advance."

Dumbledore shook his head and said, "I was too careless and underestimated you."

"But fortunately, these items are non-magical and can be repaired using direct magic. You can check to see if there is anything that cannot be repaired."

"I can compensate you according to Muggle prices."

Dolly spoke at this time, with a rare smile on her face, and said, "No, Professor, we can't drag you to the dormitory to settle the score, right?"

"Are you still going to tell us the results of your recent detection? What are they?"

Dumbledore nodded, his expression becoming serious for once, and said, "I have good news for you, girls."

"There have never been any powerful dark magic items here, so you may not have had it in the first place."

"Or maybe it was replaced by someone else before it entered your dormitory."

Dolly and the others looked at each other, digesting the possibilities.

This is indeed good news. At least it proves that none of the people are suspects and are not controlled by the diary.

At least it shows that Dolly's judgment was not too wrong. If she was controlled by the diary and didn't know it, that would be a real disaster.

"Then the diary should still be with Lockhart?"

Dolly asked tentatively, looking towards Dumbledore.

Dumbledore naturally understood what Dolly was thinking and said, "I will visit Professor Lockhart and try to find some clues from him."

"As for Miss Dursley, if you have any new...information, please inform me at any time, either by coming to me directly or by writing."

After saying that, Dumbledore said goodbye to the few people and wished everyone good night.

Then, with the help of the house-elf, he disappeared from everyone's sight, leaving the four girls staring at each other.

Then Hermione burst out laughing, as if a switch was turned on, and several people burst into laughter.

Even Luna, who seemed the most reserved, couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh, obviously thinking of Dumbledore's somewhat embarrassed look just now.

"Hermione, you didn't do this on purpose?"

Qiu Zhang said in a low voice. Although he did not mention the subject, it was obvious that all four of them understood.

Hermione opened her mouth in surprise and said, "How is that possible? Even if I have any opinion about him, I would never do such a thing. He is the headmaster!"

"Dolly and I did cast several layers of various spells throughout the dormitory in order to keep it running smoothly."

"This is also the result of the hard work of Dolly and I, and normally it doesn't affect our lives at all."

What Hermione said was true, but it also had something to do with the fact that the two of them knew how not to affect so many complicated spells.

For example, Dolly and Hermione designed a magical system for automatic oil supply for the generator. In order to maintain the operation of this system, there must be a set of spellcasting steps that are clear to them alone.

If you want to understand this kind of thing, you have to see them operate it with your own eyes. Otherwise, the result of intervening directly will be that the spells will be in chaos and explode one after another.

Of course, it's just like Hermione said.

Even if Dolly had a problem with Dumbledore, she would never harm Dumbledore in this way.

Therefore, it is highly likely that Dumbledore accidentally triggered a chain while using some detection magic.

Dolly and Hermione knew almost nothing about this kind of detection magic, so they had no idea how to guard against or use it.

As for whether Dumbledore's appearance here would mess up the dormitory, Dolly and Hermione hardly considered this issue.

After all, that's Dumbledore...

Would he also be troubled by magic?

He is the most powerful wizard in the world.

There is no doubt that while laughing together, the three little witches except Dolly also achieved a certain degree of demystification of Dumbledore.

This is actually true. Even someone as powerful as Dumbledore can die on the spot if he is not careful when facing some ultimate dark magic.

Dumbledore proved this point with his own tragic experience in the original book. The adventure between Dumbledore and Harry directly destroyed one of his hands.

This also became one of the important reasons for Dumbledore's death, although Dumbledore was prepared to face death from the beginning.

After a few people laughed, they completed an inspection of the dormitory under the command of Hermione and Dolly.

It turned out that when they came in, Dumbledore had almost restored the place.

After all, even if it was a collision of magic, Dolly and Hermione did not set up any attack spells, so it was naturally impossible for a really huge explosion to happen.

The biggest impact was on the generator, but at least there seems to be no mechanical damage.

So a few people sat down again and discussed the diary.

"So we've been busy for a long time, but haven't found the diary, and we've even alerted the enemy?"

Qiu Zhang said in a suspicious tone, "Is Lockhart such a vigilant person? I can't believe it."

Although Qiu Zhang did not witness Lockhart's ugly appearance with her own eyes, after hearing Dolly and Hermione's descriptions and adding her own testimony, she had already determined that Lockhart was a clown.

As a result, Qiu Zhang found out that several people had been fooled by a clown, so he was naturally unwilling to accept it.

"It can't be him."

Dolly shook her head, very confident in Lockhart's magical abilities.

"The diary we obtained is exactly the same as the one I reported. It's most likely not a handmade copy, but a replica created using magic."

Items can be copied using the Clone Charm, but the copies are worthless.

For example, magical currency such as gold galleons can be copied using the copy spell, but goblins will see through the fake currency at a glance, and the fake currency will disappear soon.

Even leprechauns, who are also magical creatures, cannot copy gold galleons with their special magic, which is enough to prove that this is a rule in the magical world.

However, although the copied items are worthless, they are enough to deceive people.

This time several people were obviously caught, but the problem was that Lockhart had no way of using the cloning spell.

"So you're saying that someone took the diary from Lockhart without his knowledge?"

Hermione continued, "This guy... unexpectedly lucky?"

Dolly shrugged and said, "If he hadn't been lucky, he wouldn't have ended up like this."

"Of course, what you said is just a possibility. Or maybe Lockhart got a replica from the beginning."

Qiu Zhang also understood the full situation and said, "That sounds impossible, doesn't it?"

"It's impossible that Lucius made a copy and gave it to Lockhart in the first place just to prevent us or others from investigating this matter."

"Did he hide the real thing, or did he get it into Hogwarts in some other way?"

When saying this, Qiu Zhanghe subconsciously glanced at Luna.

Then he signaled to Dolly out of the corner of his eye, so that Luna would know everything. Was it appropriate?

After all, Qiu Zhang, Dolly and Hermione have been together for a year and can be considered friends for life.

While they were chatting, Dolly told Qiu Zhang what had happened without hesitation, even though Qiu Zhang could not experience this with Dolly and Hermione most of the time.

But Luna...she had only just met a few people. Was it really okay to trust her completely?

And this is not just a question of trust, it is also a question of security.

Dolly's strength is obvious to all. Although Hermione did not have many opportunities to take action, her spell level is still better than Dolly's, except for the healing spell of Transfiguration.

Luna is a little witch who has just picked up a wand.

Luna obviously realized something and stood up and wanted to leave.

But Dolly grabbed her wrist and said, "Sit down. I believe you."

Luna struggled for a bit, and only sat down again after realizing she couldn't break free.

Then he looked at Hermione and Qiu Zhang seriously and said, "I will keep it a secret. I swear on Merlin's name."

Luna's words made Qiu Zhang feel a little ashamed.

She quickly waved her hands and said, "No, Luna, it's not that I don't trust you, I'm just worried that you might be in danger."

"You might not know this, but Dolly did last semester... Can you tell her?"

Dolly thought for a moment and nodded.

Luna's eyes widened in curiosity.

Luna actually already knew a lot of information about Dolly.

The opportunity for Luna to become friends with Ginny was when she heard Ginny tell her about the exclusive information about Dolly that Ron relayed to her.

But Ron's so-called exclusive information was just a few words he learned from Harry.

A considerable part of Dolly's true experience was concealed by Dumbledore and the entire Hogwarts in order not to disturb Harry's adventure.

Now that a year has passed, Dolly hardly cares about it anymore.

But to Luna, it was still a thrilling, even sad and painful experience.

Luna couldn't help but look at Dolly again and again, looking at Dolly's thin body, imagining how this girl could kill a giant monster with such an arm?

"Anyway, you might be in danger. It's not too late to back out now."

"That's the Chamber of Secrets, Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets, and there are magical creatures in there that can kill people."

Hermione also tried to persuade Luna. On the one hand, she was indeed concerned about Luna's safety.

On the other hand... although Luna seemed harmless, she and Qiu Zhang vaguely had the same feeling.

Their trio will soon become a foursome if she and Qiu Zhang don't make an effort.

But Luna obviously didn't realize this and was still immersed in her friendship with Dolly.

The more her friends thought about her at this time, the more Luna couldn't retreat.

So she swore to Merlin again that she would not tell the information to anyone else and would be cautious.

Seeing Luna becoming more and more serious, Hermione and Qiu Zhang looked at each other and realized that it had the opposite effect.

The two of them could only give up and acquiesce that Luna could participate.

Still, Hermione made up her mind.

Unless Dolly brings it up, try to keep Dolly and Luna away from each other.

I always feel that this little girl with silver pupils in front of me, although she looks harmless, unexpectedly attracts Dolly... Well, why did she use the word "attract"?

"Alright, Hermione, Cho."

Dolly spoke last, saying, "Since Luna is willing to participate, we can't stop her, right?"
